Chapter Two

Cindy stared at Chester as she sat on the edge of the Monkey stage. She didn't know that he was there, because she was daydreaming about Candy's act of bravery. Her tail did not move as she was in thought. Chester waved his hands, gave a small dance, and then flicked Cindy's nose.

She gave her head a small shake and looked around. "Hey, Chester. Hey, Markiplier. How ya two doing?" Markiplier was looking around, seeming to use two drawn-on napkins as guidelines or compasses.

"Um. Is something wrong with Markiplier?" Cindy asked with her tail curled around her left leg in confusion. "No, something's wrong with you. You keep gazing into the distance, and I'm trying to find the boy that has your attention. Is the red haired with the baggy blue coat?" "No. And before you go on-" "The dark haired one with the tattoo?"

Cindy was glad that Candy wasn't in the line of sight. He was in the kitchen. "No. And Mark-" "Is it the blue one with red cheeks?" Chester asked. The tip of Cindy's tail whipped up to above her head in surprise, but Cindy quickly forced it down. "What blue one? There are human's in my line of sight. Well, except for Markiplier."

But the damage was done. Somehow Markiplier understood instantly. He stood up, napkins in hand, and mouth wide open. "Really? Okay, not sure what to say." "Then don't. Please? I don't want anyone to know," Cindy said, her red cheeks giving off a bright glow.

"Mark, if you blabber, I'll chase you down, and slap you 100 times before dumping dry ice into your pants," Chester threatened. Markiplier left to go back up on the roof.

Old Candy came over, sitting next to Cindy with a creak from his metal knee bones. "Hey, Newbie. How are things?" Cindy didn't answer. "Did you get back with your brother?"

"What?" Cindy asked in surprise. She had never been with him in the first place. Old Candy continued with, "You 2 seemed to be avoiding each other, so I was wondering if you 2 apologized yet, or 'kiss and make up' as it is said in slang." "No, we weren't in a fight," Cindy said, relieved that Old Candy didn't know.

"So? What happened? You 2 would hang out a lot when you were robots, using your 'Hide and Seek' function to hang out in the dark. Then when you 2 became 'real' and became children, you would stay up, playing tag or some other games. Then you 2 got older, and became interested in video games. Again, you would stay up until the Night-Mode power ran out. Then you both would curl up with each other like the cat's you're designed after.

Now, you 2 seem to drift apart, only hanging out for the show. So excuse me if I'm concerned. Chances are, it's some sort of human behavior that has worked its way into you 2.

But you know you can tell me anything that's troubling you, okay? Sorry, me and Chester." The last bit was directed towards Chester, who was still there. Old Candy got up and Chester went behind the curtains to sleep, leaving Cindy alone in her thoughts and daydreams.

What was she supposed to do?
